• Abstract: A class of signed joint probability measures for n arbitrary quantum observables is derived and studied based on quasi-characteristic functions with symmetrized operator orderings of Margenau-Hill type. It is shown that the Wigner distribution associated with these observables can be rigorously approximated by such measures. These measures are given by affine combinations of Dirac delta distributions supported over the finite spectral range of the quantum observables and give the correct probability marginals when coarse-grained along any principal axis. We specialize to bivariate quasi-probability distributions for the spin measurements of spin-1/2 particles and derive their closed-form expressions. As a side result, we point out a connection between the convergence of these particle approximations and the Mehler-Heine theorem. Finally, we interpret the supports of these quasi-probability distributions in terms of repeated thought experiments.

  We study the propagator of the $1+1$ dimensional Salpeter Hamiltonian, describing a relativistic quantum particle with no spin. The analytical extension of the Hamiltonian in the complex plane allows us to formulate the equivalent problem, namely the B"aumer equation. This B"aumera corresponds to the Green function of a relativistic diffusion process that interpolates between Cauchy for small times and Gaussian diffusion for large times.

  In this paper, we study the approximate entropy represented as the sum of the entropies of unimodal Gaussian distributions with mixing coefficients. We theoretically analyze the approximation error between the true and the approximate entropy to reveal when this approximation works effectively. Our results provide a guarantee that this approximation works well for high-dimensional problems, such as neural networks.

We show that when the kernel is characteristic, distributions with a kernel sum-of-squares density are dense. We provide algorithms to optimize such distributions in the finite-sample setting.
